How would you classify the US Submarine service boats?
Offense or Defense?
SSBN's on defense and SSN's on offense
I would think some older LA class are used for Fleet operations on defense.
Still think the USN could use a diesel boat platform for the Gulf of Mexico alone or the Gulf of Alaska for defense, but that is an on going argument.
With all of that said I'm glad I'm not in the position of the Pentagon to decide how to use our boats for defense or for offence this is a serious problem.
My real fear is that we could lose a Seal Team to political reasons.
Lets hope not ... I pray a (SS) qualified admiral to tell them 'No'
